If Kalil gets past the Vikings trade up and get him.
PLEASE stop this drivel!

:wallbash:

@adamschefter- Breaking news! Bills will draft Dareus with the 3rd pick in the draft. Last year.
-
Wait... You can trade up?!! Why has no one on this board called for us to do that?! Or to trade for Tebow?! Or to sign over the hill free agents with name recognition?!
-
At least he's not obsessed with Jerry Sullivan like some of you are... it borders on creepy sometimes.
Not obsessed, I simply loathe him and relish any opportunity to express that loathing.

Says the guy who likes the drunken mess kid. You call Floyd a freak, the only thing freakish is how stupid he is. Floyd will be a big bust because he's someone who's out of control before he gets his first big check. I don't care what he says, He wouldn't be on my board.
Stephen Hill is going within the first 20 picks and he WILL be picked before Floyd. Lock it in.
As for Hill not proving anything 29.3 yards per catch blows away Floyd's 11.5. That kind of deep threat translates VERY well to the NFL game.
1bills what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Its 2012 if you don't understand the Mock draft community, you never will.
Just think of it as cross dressing, you just don't get it. Or if you are a cross dresser think of it as not cross dressing.
Draftek doesn't have this problem.
This post made no sense whatsoever. Drafttek is supposed to be a "different kind of mock" that projects value as opposed to simply likely destination. I'm saying the premise of the site is flawed.

Do you remember a guy named Mike Williams?
Yuck Cordy Glenn
+1
I don't want a T in the 1st because of the scar I still have from Williams. Though I suppose if I held to that logic I wouldn't want us to draft any position we drafted in the 1st before Chix.
-
But, I've heard of him! What about Richardson, he would give us a three headed monster at RB!

Astro. I know you put a lot of time into that site and I really want to support it. I just don't "get" the premise of the site. You rank players according to perceived "value." But you're not privy to what pro staffs have actually ranked the players. I mean, if you got a look at teams' draft boards after the draft and then made assumptions based off of that, I'd be with you. But unless you have a value on someone from an actual NFL team, the site is pure speculation. It is impossible to call someone a "reach" if he's taken at any pick because you think he should be taken lower, because you don't know where pro teams had him ranked. You had Cam Newton as a -9 reach and Aldon Smith as a -10 reach. Show me where you got that. Because your "big board" is pure speculation and in this case, was not only wrong on where they would get picked, but how they performed.

We've drafted players who we never talked to or visited before, so... no.

Floyd makes the team better. I don't care what you call him.
Truly, we just don't know on just about any of these guys, and to act like its that clear cut is silly in my opinion. Unless guys totally spiral out of control AND get caught along the way - how they deal with and how big there demons are is a mystery to us. Not getting arrested, and having a good PR firm doesn't mean he was squeaky clean. I hope for his sake, even if he is in Miami, that he has gotten his act together. What I will say is that either he is about the unluckiest college kid around, or he did have more of a personal issue with alcohol than average to get popped on alcohol related charges repeatedly. Maybe ND is a different culture but I can't think of many of my peers graduating with multiple run ins with the police, and star athletes were left to skate on incidents most of the time (ie, to have multiple documented run ins often means many more undocumented).
The incidents are significant red flags but certainly don't preclude him from huge success moving forward.
To be hit 3 times, likely means there was a lot more than 3 questionable nights in his past. The repetition is also a huge red flag to look at what the root cause was and if it has been seriously addressed. An answer we will never truly have on this board. His image has too much money riding on it to get a straight answer unless one of us knows him very closely.
2 of the instances occurred when he was at home, not Notre Dame. But ND is notorious for heavy drinking. It's in the middle of nowhere and the club scene is not great, so there are a TON of house parties. I should know, I threw enough of them.

So...yeah this thread exists
-
Bleacher Report is terrible. That said, I think he's top 5
-
You want to know why he's not suited to the grind of playing against fast edge rushers? Watch his combine workout and look at the difference between his body type and fluidity compared to Kalil. Kalil is a plug and play starter at LT. Reiff is a tough guy who plays with good leverage, but is much more suited to playing RT, a' la Bulaga. LTs need to have quicker feet than he does.
-
If he fell past 4-5 teams would be outbidding each other to get him
-
+1 to missing Tim Graham. He's not even a Bills fan and he still writes better stuff than this hack
-
I would watch that.
I would pay a nickel to watch you watching that
-
It would help if I could get that without getting ripped off for it. I refuse to sign up for what amounts to ESPN Better.
There's no way that some objective, prepared tool doesn't exist for GMs to rapidly evaluate draft day trades. If for no other reason than to cut through the crap and stay on the critical decision points. Every NFL team, except the Redskins, plans and prepares for 12 hours a day, for months, in the off-season. Coaches spend hours and hours just making sure they get 5 minutes of practice right.
But, only on draft day, we are supposed to believe that everybody just wings it? No way in hell.
Whatever they use may not be in the exact form of this chart, but, there's no way in hell they just do it based on whatever comes to mind....unless it's the Redskins. Nobody in the war room is going to remember every player on the board and how a trade might affect who they get where. There has to be some sort of pre-planned thingamabob, or excel spreadsheet, or even a real software program, that assists with this.
I have....the Redskins....which is the real world application of your theory here.....and is therefore, hysterical.
Why do I need to go through a logical proof....when all I need say is "The Redskins"?
I bet you think the pattern of their behavior over the last 10 years....should be ignored....because you think RG3 is a good player.
And you want to talk in terms of logic? How about statistics? As in: what % of the Redskins moves....just at the QB position...over the last 10 years...have worked, or weren't horribly conceived and executed? Logic? 1. You have now confused me with another poster.
2. Nothing I have said here has been refuted by anyone, and that status will not change, because it is indeed based on unassailable logic, and given your skills on display here, even if it wasn't, it's doubtful you could do anything with it.
3. Time for you to go back and re-read the thread. Reading comprehension is important.
Well... s(*t!
You mean to tell me I worked up a head of steam over nothing? How unlike me -
We get him via the draft, or a free agent contract in about 4 years.
-
Noobs are ruining this thread. Missed you Spags. You get that ghost problem under control? If not, Tebow should be able to take care of that for you. Congrats on landing the NFL's most famous player. Now tell me how he's going to coexist with Sanchez. Answer my questions and show some respect, or you might find yourself AWOL...and I'm not leaving no breadcrumbs.
-
Because of 1 &2 this is literally the WORST list of people you could possibly put together. A right tackle and a nutcase with terrible speed. NFL network stated the guy's pro day took him from maybe a second rounder to maybe not getting drafted.
-
Reiff is an RT not going to be an LT...someone mentioned that he is another Bulaga and he is. We passed on Bulaga we will pass on this guy too...
If Karl Malone's bastard son would just resign life would be easier this draft
I know you don't care, but I found that statement offensive. Just fyi
-
I ask for objectivity, and evidence of what GM no longer uses draft charts to evaluate draft trades, especially during their 15 minutes on the clock....
....and you give us....the F'ing Redskins.
Thanks for making my point for me. And, then you proceed to do it again.
If picks have more value...why is a draft chart...less useful...to the point of being meaningless? Your arguments lack substance and any discernible logic. The poster stated that your use of the draft value chart was incorrect, because you were attempting to calculate our pick at 10 and assign its value to other team's picks in the same and later rounds. They were correct in that teams no longer say "well you have pick x and that's worth 10000 points, so we have to give you approximately 10k points to make a trade. Having been refuted, you then changed your argument and began saying the value chart is a jumping off point and that we could ask for more. That's not what you said originally and it's a weak way to try to not admit your statement was inaccurate. I could respect if you said "well if anything, the chart being gone helps us", but you didn't you tried to show how your original incorrect statement was even more valid. Just concede the point and move on.
